Treat Yourself to a NEW Large Print Title

Under the Dome by Stephen King

On an entirely normal,
beautiful fall day in Chester's Mill, Maine, the town is inexplicably
and suddenly sealed off from the rest of the world by an invisible force
field. Planes crash into it and fall from the sky in flaming wreckage, a
gardener's hand is severed as "the dome" comes down on it, people
running errands in the neighboring town are divided from their families,
and cars explode on impact. No one can fathom what this barrier is,
where it came from, and when -- or if -- it will go away.

Dale
Barbara, Iraq vet and now a short-order cook, finds himself teamed with a
few intrepid citizens -- town newspaper owner Julia Shumway, a
physician's assistant at the hospital, a select-woman, and three brave
kids. Against them stands Big Jim Rennie, a politician who will stop at
nothing -- even murder -- to hold the reins of power, and his son, who
is keeping a horrible secret in a dark pantry. But their main adversary
is the Dome itself. Because time isn't just short. It's running out.

Lady Luck’s Map of Vegas by Barbara Samuel

A successful Web
designer, forty-year-old India has a fabulously hip life in Denver and a
sexy Irish lover in New York who jets out to see her on bi-weekly
visits. The long-distance romance suits India just fine: Though Jack is
the only man who has ever made India feel truly alive, she doesn’t want
things to get too serious. But then her father passes away, and India
must honor the promise she made to him: to look after her mother when
he’s gone.

Suddenly India finds herself back in Colorado Springs
with the woman who both intrigues and infuriates her. Eldora is sixty
something and exquisitely gorgeous, but her larger-than-life personality
can suck the air out of a room. True to form, Eldora throws India a
curveball, insisting that they hit the road to look for India’s twin,
Gypsy, a brilliant artist who lives a vagabond’s existence in the remote
mountain towns of New Mexico. It looks like India can’t avoid her
mother’s intensity any longer, especially after she discovers stunning
secrets from Eldora’s past.

Thirty years ago, Eldora regaled her
twin girls with glamorous stories about her days as a Las Vegas
showgirl– stories of martinis and music at the Sahara, back when Frank
and Sammy ruled the town. But the story of how she really ended up in
Sin City, and the unsavory life she’d run from with her daughters in
tow, is full of details she’s never seen fit to share–until now.

As
mother and daughter sail down Route 66, the very road Eldora drove
those many years ago, looking for Gypsy, while passing motels, diners,
and souvenir shops, Eldora must relive a lifetime of memories that have
tormented her before she can put them to rest once and for all. . . .

The Dream-Hunter by Sherrilyn Kenyon

In the ethereal world of dreams, there are champions who fight to protect the dreamer and there are demons who prey on them...

Arik
is such a predator. Condemned by the gods to live eternity without
emotions, Arik can only feel when he's in the dreams of others. For
thousands of years, he's drifted through the human unconscious,
searching for sensation. Now he's finally found a dreamer whose vivid
mind can fill his emptiness.

Dr. Megeara Kafieri watched her
father ruin himself and his reputation as he searched to prove Atlantis
was real. Her deathbed promise to him to salvage his reputation has now
brought her to Greece where she intends to prove once and for all that
the fabled island is right where her father said it was. But frustration
and bad luck dog her every step. Especially the day they find a
stranger floating in the sea. His is a face she's seen many times.... in
her dreams.

What she doesn't know is that Arik holds more than
the ancient secrets that can help her find the mythical isle of
Atlantis. He has made a pact with the god Hades: In exchange for two
weeks as a mortal man, he must return to Olympus with a human soul.
Megeara's soul.

With a secret society out to ruin her
expedition, and mysterious accidents that keep threatening her life,
Megeara refuses to quit. She knows she's getting closer to Atlantis and
as she does, she stumbles onto the truth of what Arik really is.

For
Arik his quest is no longer simple. No human can know of a
Dream-Hunter's existence. His dream of being mortal has quickly turned
into his own nightmare and the only way to save himself will be to
sacrifice the very thing he wanted to be human for. The only question
is, will he?

No Safe Place
by Joanna Ross

Chicago homicide
detective Kate Delaney fiercely defends victims. Which is why -- despite
death threats -- she's testifying to a federal grand jury about local
police corruption. It's also why she's infuriated by the New Orleans
police department's blasÉ attitude toward her estranged sister's death.
But pursuing an investigation in a strange city means allying with
someone who knows the territory. And the players. Someone with a total
disregard for the rules.

As an ex-cop from a police family, New
Orleans PI Nick Broussard knows that cops live by their own code. You
don't rat out a fellow officer. The last thing he needs is some
smart-mouthed, by-the-book outsider unknowingly injecting herself into
his undercover search for the truth. Even worse is the way she conjures
up visions of tangled sheets....

Nick and Kate's chase
pits them against the criminal underworld of the sultry southern city.
And as they peel away layers of deadly deception, they discover a dark
secret too many are willing to kill to keep.

Don’t Scream by Wendi Corsi Staub

If you scream, you die.
DON'T TELL A SOUL.
In
a remote, heavily wooded area near the Berkshires of Massachusetts,
Rachel Lorant died on her birthday. But she didn't die alone. That
night, her four sorority sisters make a solemn, trembling pledge. They
will never reveal what has just happened in those woods-ever. Instead,
they will take their terrible secret to their graves.

DON'T THINK ABOUT THE PAST.
Now,
ten years later, their secret is coming back to haunt them as each
receives a card in the mail from Rachel: "Happy Birthday to Me. xoxo R."
It's clear that someone knows what happened that night. Someone is
stalking them and sending mysterious, chilling gifts that only they can
understand-deadly warnings of what is to come. For the sins of the past
have come back with a vengeance, and a killer will see that they all pay
in blood.

AND WHATEVER YOU DO-DON'T SCREAM.
Brynn Costello
has never felt such pure fear. She didn't want any part in what happened
so long ago, but now, the mother of two will do anything to stay alive
and protect her family-even if it means matching wits with a killer she
can't see.a twisted psychopath who is closer than she thinks and who is
saving her death for last.

The Landlord’s Black-Eyed Daughter by Mary Ellen Dennis

Elizabeth Wyndham is a
rarity-a young lady who writes novels-bestsellers in fact. But with her
sharp tongue and quick temper, she's nothing like her vapid, charming
heroines.

Rand Remington is an ex-soldier disillusioned with
England's less-than-honorable nobility. By day a gentleman, by night he
robs the rich to try to make life better for the poor.

Rand and
Elizabeth are drawn inexorably together, until the fateful night when
the men trying to capture Rand use Elizabeth as living bait...Based on
the beloved poem about two timeless lovers who would die for each
other.

The Hit by David Baldacci

Will Robie is a master
of killing. A highly skilled assassin, Robie is the man the U.S.
government calls on to eliminate the worst of the worst-enemies of the
state, monsters committed to harming untold numbers of innocent victims.
No one else can match Robie's talents as a hitman...no one, except
Jessica Reel. A fellow assassin, equally professional and dangerous,
Reel is every bit as lethal as Robie. And now, she's gone rogue, turning
her gun sights on other members of their agency. To stop one of their
own, the government looks again to Will Robie.

His mission: bring in
Reel, dead or alive. Only a killer can catch another killer, they tell
him. But as Robie pursues Reel, he quickly finds that there is more to
her betrayal than meets the eye. Her attacks on the agency conceal a
larger threat, a threat that could send shockwaves through the U.S.
government and around the world.
